Adamastor. Vasco da Gama is said to have seen a hideous sea phantom called the “Adamastor,” the spirit of the stormy Cape of Good Hope, which warned him not to undertake his third voyage to India.

The Adamastor is first mentioned in the epic poem the Lusiads by Portuguese ad- venturer and poet Luis de Camoëns (1524–80), which was translated into English by Sir Richard Burton in 1881. The word Adamastor is probably Portuguese in origin, but its ex- act derivation is unknown.
